The victory of Barack Obama has electrified world politics and set the stage for what may be momentous shifts in US policy. Obama's campaign also created history, with unprecedented numbers of people volunteering, and the most sophisticated internet strategy yet seen. What are the implications for Australia, and for Australian political campaigning?

This is a unique opportunity to hear a first-hand account of the campaign.

Meredith Burgmann is a lifelong campaigner against racism and for Aboriginal rights. A former President of the NSW Legislative Assembly, she is now a Councillor of the City of Sydney. She went to the USA and worked as a volunteer over the final weeks for the Presidential campaign.

This event is a fundraiser for ANTaR NSW
